Mephistopheles wrote:Now it's Crime and Punishment and Notre-Dame de Paris, but I look forward to reading The Death of Ivan Illych. Classics are very fun to read, indeed.
I very much agree with you.
Reading
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. I recall having to read a large amount of Hardy's poems for school awhile back; they were all fairly dreary but I do remember one thing: the narrator was seated at some wintery pond with a wife, perhaps, and the whole scene was painted as very desolate and dead. The narrator and wife/whomever no longer cared for one another, and the narrator says something along the lines of, 'Your smile was alive enough to die.'
That needs to be embroidered on a pillow.
Anyway. :D Also rereading
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard, which I heartily, very much so, recommend to anyone, especially if they like meta-fiction.
Also, @ Tonksie if you return to this topic, what's he done to mythology? It's always discouraging when authors err more on the side of 'mistaken' than on 'artistic license'.

It seems I'm on a Huff-kick; although, I've read the Blood and Smoke series before, save for Blood Bank.

i tried to read the Silmarillion, but I guess it got a bit boring... Should try reading it again sometime...
At the moment I'm reading a Terry Pratchett discworld novel, the Hogsfather I think it is... Love Terry Pratchett. I own two of his books, the wee free men and a hat full of sky.
